Wall Street ended higher on Friday as investors digested the December jobs report. Nonfarm payrolls increased by 50,000, missing expectations, while the unemployment rate edged down to 4.4%, signalling a steady but slow-growing labour market.

The $S&P 500(.SPX)$ gained 0.6%, and the $Dow Jones(.DJI)$ rose 0.5%, both hitting new record highs. The $NASDAQ 100(NDX)$ advanced 1.02%, closing just below its October 29 record of 26,119, a key resistance level. A decisive break above this level could open the door for further upside momentum, while failure to clear it may trigger short-term consolidation.

Chipmakers led gains, with $Broadcom(AVGO)$ adding 3.76%, climbing sharply on investor optimism over AI and semiconductor growth. This followed the Semiconductor Industry Association report showing global semiconductor industry sales up 29.8% YoY in November 2025, marking a new all-time high. Tracking the underlying, the AVGO 3x Long DLC rose about 8.3%, while the AVGO 3x Short DLC fell by a similar magnitude.

Among other DLC-covered names, $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ slipped 0.10% while $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ gained 2.11%.

As investors brace for continued policy uncertainty and the upcoming earnings season, they can position themselves using the DLCs to capture directional opportunities across major US indices and single stocks.

S&P, Dow Break Records: Would January Effect Last?
S&P 500 and Dow Jones both closed at record highs. As January goes, so goes the year. When January closes positive, the S&P 500 is higher 89% of the time, with an average gain of 17% and an average maximum drawdown of 10.5%. When January is negative, average returns fall to -1.8%, with only a 50% hit rate and deeper market drawdowns. How do you see 2026 unfolding? Will U.S. equities continue to deliver double-digit gains, or lag behind other global markets? Will AI leadership rotate toward memory stocks or SaaS companies?
